SOLVED: KDE Partition Manager "destroyed" my Home partition. Anyone knows how can I fix it?

EDIT: TestDisk easily solved the problem: https://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk

Which for me is a problem.
Programs like this should be more well known and more frequently recommended. Even people like me that have no ideal how this works and how it happened was able to recover the partition. No "past line that you don't understand to the terminal" involved.

I "know" that there's is a way to restore this partition, but I'm don't know how.

I don't know about KDE Partition Manager.

I don't suppose you have a backup. When you get it sorted out you should look into a solid backup plan before playing in the dangerous partition modification game.

What I want to do is "repair" the partition, not recover files.
Make it become "/home" again without formatting it. It know that it can be do I just don't know how.

EDIT: using that eeveblog post as reference, maybe I could do this?

losetup -o $(( 105,515,008 * 512 )) -s $(( 1,868,503,039 * 512 )) -r -f /dev/sdd
file -s /dev/loop0
fsck.ext4 -n /dev/loop0
testdisk /dev/loop0
etc

We understand that. But with that being said it isn't always repairable. If you had a backup drive image you could be whole again in half an hour.

This SDD is almost new.
I'm thinking about doing what I put on the edit above.

Won't help you now, but for future reference, sgdisk (and I believe GParted) can backup your partition table before you do any re-partitioning.
